*DEREK's POV*
I watched her back as she left in a hurry. As soon as I heard her door room shut, the surrounding suddenly got chilly and lonely when she wasn't there, yet her scent remained as if she was making me guilty
{"What do you know about me?! You can call me any names you want, but don't you dare describe me as dead! Aren't I living?! I survived all this time. I don't need people to validate my existence!"}
I sighed in frustration, I knew she was the type to throw a fit. But she looked genuinely hurt at that time.
"Fuck, what the hell is wrong with me?" I rubbed my temples.
Was I too honest?
~*~*~**VENUS's POV*When I heard his door shut with a loud bang, I couldn't help but realize something.My plan is working.I tilted my head. The fruits of my hard work showed when Alpha Derek willingly confronted me today. I almost gave up after four months of pretending to hold a grudge. Who would have thought that he would adjust his time for me?He's finally opening up after all this time!Because he was too suspicious of me, I've tried my best to avoid sending letters to Shaka in the past four months. I did better what he would've expected of me, and of course, I decided to distance myself from him so it won't look suspicio
Now that I think about it, I haven't really met the guild information master. He always wore this boorish-kind of mask that could intimidate anyone. But that wasn't what was bothering me. What completely threw me off was when he introduced me as one of his customers. How did he recognize me? Wasn't I always wearing a mask during our transactions? Tsk! Since he's already onto me, I should play this petty game with him as well. As politely as I could, I removed his hand and plastered a smile, "Ha ha ha, sorry if I disturbed you. I know you're quite a busy person. But still, I never said you should come at such a time." Alpha Derek crosses his arms towards Seff, "Just say what you want to say and leave." Seff smirks, "Really? can I really open such a secret that only she and I knows?" Alpha Derek immediately looks at me in confusion. "What secret?" "..." Hah i can't read him. I can't tell if he'll expose me or side
~*~2 days ago -After dealing with the pack business, I head straight to Rohan information guild to meet an important customer as scheduled. And so, I wore my usual black mask that barely resembled a dragon's wrath.The servant bows, {"Alpha, she's here."}I nod.I entered the room, the dim light fluttered around her as she sat impatiently on the chair, her eyes through the mask slightly showing displease.As far as I know, Ms. Blank wasn't one to show emotions. We'd conduct business as quietly as possible. She's straight to the point and does her tasks well.
I clasped my hands in excitement, "If that's the case, why not ask him yourself? Isn't he here right now? I saw his bike downstairs."He clicks his tongue, annoyed. "Yeah, He came for Venus about business.""Is it really about business?" I said, wriggling my eyebrows."Shut up." He sighs. "Any way have you finished your tasks for the day? I have something I want you to do-""But alpha," I interrupt him, "Aren't you worried for Beta Venus? Alpha Seff is known for being a womanizer. With his good looks, even beta venus's frozen heart can melt!""Easton,""-I mean, I wouldn't blame Alpha Seff. Though Beta Venus is kind of a hard she-wolf to approach, her body and looks are something any male would die for.""EASTON!" He shouts this time, his eyes darkening from anger.Knowing my limits, I immediately shut my mouth. By then, the room suddenly was filled with silence. My sweat rolled down as I felt Alpha Derek's murderous gaze stabb
* RYAN's POV*"Ryan, you're coming with me at the Great Five Pack's meeting. Make sure to get everything prepared by then."I was sorting out the files on the shelves, that I almost dropped one when he said that. Puzzled, I walked towards Alpha Shaka's desk."Where's beta Riley?""He's out on a mission, so he can't come. You're the only one left in your brothers that I can trust. What is it? you don't want to come?""It's not that.." I heaved a sigh, "I'm more curious why you're going to the great five pack's meeting when we're not even one of the five?"SunDale is neutral as much as I know since I've grown up in this place. I know very well that there weren't many interactions that SunDale allowed with the rest of the world. Nevertheless, we're not isolated either. It's merely that SunDale doesn't have any conflicts nor a significant relationship with other packs"I'm curious too." Alpha Shaka taps on the surface of his desk. "
On the way to the main kitchen, I randomly decided to visit my squad since I needed to check how their duties were being handled and see if there was any problem I had to know before the Alpha blame me for being negligent again.I mean, I could ask them through mind link, but at the same time, I also wanted to spoil them a bit with food since I'm already on my way there.My squad's headquarters was on the opposite way of the kitchen so I had to run hastily. When I got there, I didn't hesitate and opened the door.There, I saw Noah half-naked in front of me. When he noticed my presence, he quickly covered his body. His blonde curls were still wet from showering, so I guessed that they just got back. Strangely though, Liam was still working out while Jojo just looked happy to see me.I closed the door behind me."Beta Venus?!" Noah exclaims in shock. "W..What are you doing at this time of hour?!"I crossed my arm, "Nothing, I just came to ask
*DEREK's POV*Just what is taking her so long?I waited patiently in the living room. My eyebrow furrowed as I unceasingly tapped on the sofa hand rest, my eyes locked towards the door in front of me.It's been 3 hours since she left, so I couldn't guess what kind of matter she was dealing with, when all I ordered her to do was ask the main kitchen to deliver the supplies.Should I just go to her?I rubbed my temples together, "She's such a troublesome she-wolf."At that moment, I was aware that I was painstakingly waiting for her like an idiot. The impulse wasn't something that I could prevent, unlike the others. My bond with her was more potent than anyone else.I could sense her well as if she were my other half. Feeling anxious, I didn't hesitate any more and tried to reach out to her via mind link.['Where are you? Do you know what time is it?']No answer. I sighed, my knuckles cracked in irri
"Hushh!!" Venus placed her index finger on my lips. She rears her head as we lock eyes with each other. "Why do you talk too much? do you know how annoying you are right now?"I can't believe this woman right now. Just how much longer will she be intoxicated? To think I overestimated her, I'll give her a scolding when she wakes up!I groaned in defeat and slapped her finger away, "Why the hell are you doing this to me? Get off!""No!" She shakes her head, "You're not going until you touch me.""Are you crazy?! Stop playing!"When I was able to push her away successfully, my face almost lit up from relief- but that was before she jumped to my body like a psycho-maniac. I gasped, feeling even more burdened that she was pressing her weight on my body.The worst part was, she was in a dangerous position."Venus! Get the fuck off!""What's this?" She raises an eyebrow, "Something's hard under me. And why are your face so red? Do you
